REMORSE DRI | “I robbed my brother of $1000 last July | and as the money is now gone I want to | given a chance to atone for my crime.” Thus spoke a tall, well-dressed young man as he accosted Police Officer McEn- tee at the corner of Fourth and Market streets yesterday afternoon. “I tried to negotiate a loan from him,” continued the stranger, “and when he re- fused I entered his office and stole the contents of his cash drawer. I am sorry I did it.” The stranger gave his name as Frank W. Travers, and claimed that he arrived here from New York some time ago. His brother, he says, is D. R. Travers, who | City.

After Travers had told his story McEntee took him to Captain Sey- office, where he was subjected ta a rigid cross-examination.

WITNESSES TELL OF BAY COLLISION How Steamship Columbia and the Berkeley Came ogether. e Masters of Ships File Reports, and, of Course, Disagree as to Who Is to Blame for the Disaster. PR il The circumstances of the collision which occurred at 6 o'clock last Tuesday morn- | Ing between the ferry steamer Berkeley | and the steamship Columbia were investi- gated yesterday by Captains Bolles and Buiger, United States inspectors of local and foreign steam vessels. P. A. Doran, master of the steamship Columbia, made the following written statement to the inspectors: “I came along the wharves in the usual manner, giving them a berth of 300 yards, and slowed at Vallejo-street wharf; tide about high water (slack), moderate south- east breeze, weather clear and bay smooth. When abreast of Jackson-street wharf the ferry boat Berkeley blowed a | long whistle on leaving the siip at Mar- | ket street and immediately after gave one short blast, indicating our course to starboard. 1 answered with one whistle and ordered the helm aport and immedi- ately after hard aport. The Berkeley a little later seemed to iose her headway, her stern swinging to port, and I then rang the indicator ‘full speed astern,’ and in about thirty to forty-five seconds later the Berkeley struck our bow with her rt quarter, tearing away about eight ecet of the hull, two frames and four or five plates, all above the water line. The headway of the Columbia was practically stopped at the time of the collision.’” C. H. Blaker, master of the Berkeley, gave the following account: “] gave the signal to go to the right, | him to standing in that organization. PAPER-HANGERS DEFEAT SILVAS.

Silvas' petition for a writ of mandate to compel Paper- hangers’ Union Local No. 131 to restore | Some time ago Silvas’ was dismissed from the Paper-hangers’ Unfon on com- plaint of the Musicians’ Mutual Protec- | tve Association. This organization al- | legea that Silvas was a member of the | Pacific Coast Musiclans’ Union, which, it | was claimed by the Musiclans' Mutual | Protective Association, is not in fact a union organization and is a union only in | name. Silvas was placed on trial before the Paper-hangers’ Union. He was found | gdul]ly of the charge preferred by the usiclans’ Assoclation and was dismissed | by the Paper-hangers. He immediately_ filed a petition for a | writ of mandate to compel the union to reinstate him. In defense the Paper- hangers' Union alleged that if Silvas had a grlevsnce against the local union he had a remedy by appeal to the national | organization. Evidence was taken and | the matter was submitted to the court on briefs, | In his decision Judge Murasky, in part, says: This is plainly an attempt to secure restora- tion to the union by mandamus on the alleg tion that the proceedings against him (Silvas) were irregular and illegal. Even though this allegation was true the defense that he falled to appeal to the national organization is good. His actlon in invoking the aid of the court before exhausting the remedies within the or- ganization is premature. The constitution of | Abie’s ‘Brother, ho ADVEKTISEMENTS.

Dr. C. C. | O'Donnell accepted the call to act as ref- eree and Jid so to the dissatisfaciion of the iignt-goers. Julius Kahn and R. Porter Ashe were chosen judges, but fortunately for them they were not called upon to ren- der a decision. The first bout was between Eddy Bry- ant and John Scott. Eddy won the bout after some hard fighting, but was rearly | sent to dreamland because he shot furtive glances at the entrance of the club. It was afterward learned that Eddy expect- ed his mother, and he feared her more than he did his active anu more heavily muscled opponent. | Abe Atteil took Joe Hill's measure in clever fashion. Attell was stronger and had a stitfer punch. He was, nowever, unable to admisister the coup de grace to his plucky antagonist. The bout went the limit and the judges awarded Attell the paims of victory. “Billy” O'Neil and Charles Anderson | were next in the padded ring.
